In the new article posted on the main page, regarding the Azog and Bolg figures, I noticed something about Azog that I had not noticed in the movies: his loincloth has on it what appear to be dwarf faces, as though he has skinned the faces off dwarves he has killed and used them to make it.

Pretty gruesome if you ask me. Can anyone confirm if this detail was visible in the movie?

I'm just new here so I don't know how to upload pictures, but here is the link to the image:

Haven't noticed it,I'll have a look at that.sounds like a typical Jackson touch like the lantern in the tower of cirith ungol made out of gondorian helmets.fantastic. nice name by the way boromir stark,haha,like it .....and nice choice of pic namarie

I noticed the faces as I was posting the story last night but don't recall seeing it that way in the movie. If it is that way I'll make sure to look for it when I see the movie but its a nice nasty cool detail for the character.

That is an interesting detail. I will be seeing the movie again rather soon and I will have to check and see if either character has that. I like it as a detail though as I think it adds some nastiness to the orcs.

I do to. I think Yanzeg as a regular orc works but he isn't big enough IMO to be Azog or what I would expect Azog to be.

plain loincloth. They must have added the faces specifically for the figure in order to give it more effect - (unnecessary really, considering Azog is already an incredible presence as he is! ) 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' Review

Went again tonight and sure enough, there they were. You really had to have seen the picture here first, though, to know what to look for. It also requires that you concentrate and don't look at anything else during the fight at Moria, or during the Orc meeting on Weathertop. Creepy.
